Bicycle "Corner Refuge Islands" Create Hazards For Long Trailers
This video clearly shows the traffic hazard created by taking away right turn lanes and giving them to bicycle traffic. This truck is eastbound on E. !st Street and making a right turn onto Beach Street. Even without the traffic cones, trucks will have difficulty negotiating this turn. The white stop line for left turning traffic will have to be moved very far back from the intersection to keep trucks from getting stuck. Moving the stop line for traffic that far back from the intersection makes it much more difficult for Beach northbound cars turning left onto E. 1st Street to estimate the timing to make a turn. This whole problem could be avoided by simply routing the bike traffic up onto the existing curbed corner - freeing up this turn lane for motorized vehicles and giving curbed protection to the bicycles along with easy access to the traffic buttons on the pole.
